Today at the Temple | Oct 28
Ain’t no party like A Temple Party, ‘cause a Temple Party don’t stop! Hallelujah! We had a Holy Ghost filled party today at the Temple in honor and in celebration of The One we will love forever because we know He’s Able. Jesus. He’s able to pull us through every obstacle we face. Thank you Jesus! The praise team led the congregation in a high-spirited worship and praise service. The Holy Spirit swept through the Temple like a roaring fire. We had a high time in the Lord. The Youth Praise dancers performed a powerful interpretation dance letting us all know that they will not give in to the world’s temptations. It was thoroughly moving and had us all rapt and on our feet.
Pastor Victor S. Brice brought forth God’s word with in his continuing series – What is your purpose in Life? Do you know? Our first purpose is to be one with the Father – be on the same page with the Lord – to be in the correct position with the Lord. We are to align ourselves in the proper position with the Lord and be sanctified – separated from the world. Our purpose is not to seek material things nor social status. Our second purpose is to mimic the Master. Our purpose is to be useful, be honorable and to make a difference in the lives of those that God has given us. We are to spell out the details of God and His salvation to those we come into contact with. And we become equipped to do that by seeking God, by getting to know Him personally and intimately by the hearing of His Word and through instruction and teaching from our under-shepherd – our Pastor. That is why it is imperative that we regularly attend church and bible class.
Who did God give you? He gave you your parents, your siblings, your children, your aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He has also given you souls that cross your path- be they co-workers or strangers. How do we be useful? How do we make a difference to those that are given to us by God? Dear hearts, we are to let our light shine. Our light shines by how we live. It shines in the way we, as Christians, present ourselves daily. It shines in our speech – by what comes out of our mouths. How are you living? How do you speak? What is your conversation about? Is it all about God’s salvation or is it all about worldly things? If we are sanctified, our position is in Christ – not the world.
Does the world know who you are? Does your speech reflect your claim of being a Christian? Does your actions reflect Christianity? Does what you hold dear reflect Christianity? Are you pointing “your people” to Christ with your life and by your conversation? Can anyone even tell that you are a Christian? Do “your people” know you are a Christian by what you show them and by what you talk about? Are you fulfilling your purpose? Who do you belong to, Jesus? What are you, a Christian – a saint? Can people tell? Are you a saint or an ain’t?
Let us fulfill our purpose. Let us keep our lights on full blast always! Let your light shine so brightly that “your people” cannot help but to be drawn to Christ, with your light leading the way! Glory be to God!!!
The Holy Spirit led a multitude of saints to stand at the altar in the gap for “their people” that haven’t come to Christ. Pastor prayed for strength and power to assist them in their purpose. God Reigns! If you are in the Pittsburg area, we welcome you to join us on Sunday mornings. If you are not in the area, we invite you to join us on our livestream.
God bless.
